Testimonies of Healing

Nervous Prostration, Alcohol, and Tobacco

From the October 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Journal: Let me mention the case of a man addicted to the use of liquor and tobacco in great excess, especially the latter. The belief in liquor was dispelled in less than a month: and the belief in tobacco, seemingly much harder to yield, has at last given way; and to-day the man stands "clothed and in his right mind," to the delight of all who know him.

A gentleman came to me for treatment of a belief of nervous prostration. I observed that he wore spectacles, and asked if he would let me have them. He did so; and although he believed he suffered intensely without them, he has not needed them since the first treatment; and his beliefs of nervous prostration, great mental depression, deafness and constipation, all yielded in eleven treatments.

One more, a belief of epilepsy, of long standing, yielded to the first treatment.
